Swimming Pool Glossary: Vinyl Liner

The Benefits of Vinyl Swimming Pool Liners Most swimming pools are lined with vinyl around the walls. Vinyl won't let any water through it, preventing any damage to your pool's foundation. Vinyl also feels pretty nice to the touch and comes in a wide range of colors and patterns.

Unlike concrete pools, which are difficult to clean, vinyl liners are slippery enough to prevent algae from taking hold of the pool's walls.

Vinyl pool liners are also incredibly price-friendly. Vinyl is the cheapest material available for lining a pool. You can also use vinyl in fiberglass, metal, and concrete swimming pools.
